Easily the best turbo paint demonstration on RUclips. Proof of concept, excellent tutorial with DIYers in mind. I have been on the fence about doing this with my project, or dropping money on compressors, air hoses, paint guns and product. It's one car and it can be done. I appreciate your knowledge sharing, the time you put into this and your willingness to answer questions in the comments. 👍
@@docdildonica7515 You're just being pedantic. The instruction on how to paint was in the totality of the video. Did you need him to teach you how to hold the can? Place your index finger on the spray nozzle? How to move your arm back and forth? The act of painting was thoroughly covered in this video series using a spray can. If you're unable to discern that, you should not be attempting to paint anything.
This is EXCELLENT! I can barely paint a room in my house but after getting 8-15k quotes on painting my 1967 Impala I now have the confidence to at least try it myself. Thank you!
I’ve always dreamed of having a shop one day but my gravel driveway is probably as good as it’ll ever get. I’m 54 years old. I’m a decent mechanic. I do all my own and satisfy myself lol. I never been a paint and body guy though. I been trying to learn a little. I put floor pans in my 74 f100 last year and fixed a few other rust holes in the doors and body. I welded in metal , I didn’t put bondo over the rust holes. Lol
Hahaha you can do it, that's why I've been showing guys how to do this stuff outside because not everyone has a shop and I've done a ton of work outside lol. Your doing it right, weld them holes up!!!
This is what I did, maybe you can look into it. I too have a gravel driveway, what I did was- Got 1 inch thick, horse stall mats. They’re about 8 ft by 4 ft. I put those on my gravel spot. I bought 8x4 ground contact 1/2 inch plywood, covered the entire thing making a 10x20 pad. Then because I like being extra safe I bought 3/4 inch ground contact pressure treated plywood, screws that onto the 1/2 inch which is screwed to the mats. Then I got me a 10x20 carport for $200. I used pallet wood to make the work bench and put my Iroc z28 I’m building in there, it’s a lot better then crawling on gravel lol (My car can fit in there completely. But with my engine lift, engine stand, tool box. It sticks out 2 feet. Which I don’t mind. But I wired up LED lights in there, which run off $60 solar panels I bought on Amazon. Then I have a 4 outlet adapter that’s connected to an extension cord for my welder, angle grinder etc
Be proud of yourself! When you showed the final results with the reflection at 1:17:50 I would 100% believe you if you told me that was a $3,000 paint job at a shop. 10-20% of the job is in the paint and the way you spray it. The other 80-90% is the prep work and the wet sanding and polishing afterward. You put in a lot of elbow grease, and boy did it pay off. You gave me great inspiration for doing this with my friend's clapped out 1995 Acura Integra. Will post results and share a link here when I do that. Anyways, great job man!
You never cease to impress me with your skill and knowledge. Great job. That was a lot of work on your part, and I for one appreciate all that you went through to make the video. Please keep the great videos coming.
okay id just like to say theres not another youtube I've found on here that goes not only into this much detail but actually shows the results after a restoleum paint job. and black paint too, this is amazing for the next fewweeks imma be repainting my mustang, which is black using your steps.
Ive been painting my motorcycle for the last week. Used some black spray bombs from the paint shop and the 2k clear. Def gonna use the maguires to cut n buff it. Thanks for the video brother. Sending paint fumes from Kentucky 😂
Man buddy that is crazy nice for a bombshell great information and hard working in the heat and low cost you just can’t beat that now can you. God Bless you hey be safe out there
You can make almost any paint look good in my non professional opinion with wet sanding and buffing as long as you lay it correctly and have good prep work. Thats amazing work man! Looks great! People would pay a lot of money for that. I know of a few people now looking for paint and no one will touch it if its not insurance around here.
Many many moons ago, as a young 16year old getting into buying and selling cars, every-time i needed a paint job on an old motor, i would just mix up some unused paint from storage and either hand paint or roll-on-paint. Followed by sanding and polishing like you did and it always looked 95% or better afterwards. Spay cans came later when the profits built up.
I agree, when I was learning to paint my buddy had a body shop and he would give me his left overs to learn with. He was the only on that would show me how. That is what made me want to do this channel to share everything I know even if it's bad lol thanks for watching!!!
Impressive, I've never been happy with the Econo paint job on my MR2 Spyder. I have wet sanded it etc to make it look better but this video has convinced me. I was going to buy a compressor, gun, hoses etc and paint my car but this seems way cheaper. Great work!!

Unreal! I'm in a current project with rusted out wheel wells, (and other spots). After the repairs are done, I was wondering about this whole process over old paint, and new repair, blending, AND it's all outside, (blah, blah, blah...)! This made my decision much easier to move forward with, (the indecision of), "should I just spray paint the repair, then blend by cut & polish the rest...or wet sand the whole panel, then primer, paint, clear coat" so yeah, lets do the panel...I felt the whole CLEAR COAT, after the polishing, is really impressive! Thanks!
@@ACDesignsGarage Hope I don't leave myself short on spray items. How many 12oz cans of clear coat, possibly estimate, to do one bed panel on a 1500 ram, two/three coats?

Further proof that skill matters way more than materials used. However when excellent skill and excellent materials come together, excellent results are had at most efficient price point.
I really appreciate the fact that you don't speed things up. It really helps to know how long something should take especially when cutting and buffing. How long we should go.

@@ACDesignsGarage An ugly bugly 74 standard that I put 66 hood and apron, fenders, and rear decklid and apron, and early t-bars on it to completely de-ugly it. 74s had those big collapsible bumpers and elephant foot tailights. Nasty. I've seen your 66! That's how I found your channel. I took the body off mine and refurbed the pan, new pan halves, discs all around, homemade airbag suspension. Your welding vids helped with that too! I have limited tools and no garage. Backyard boogie kinda thing. I'm about to start the bodywork and paint. So, that's why I've been following your rattle can vids. I painted the pan with turbo primer and turbo gloss black. Super fast but like you said orange peel like a mug. Lol. No biggie for the pan. But if I paint the body with rusto cans, I'd use the 5 in 1 cans and then spraymax. Your vids help me out a lot, man. Keep up the good work.
Good job on the Sawzall shaker.. I've been duct taping my rattle cans to the Sawzall blade to do the same thing, much to the amusement of my friends. Now I can show them that I'm not crazy.... or at least there other people with the same kind of crazy!😅
2006 GTO, 2008 Yukon denali xl and a 2011 Yukon denali xl. That's in my fleet. The GTO parts are getting to be unobtainium 😆 but it was my dream car. Love your videos brother!
It's held up, I thought it would explode lol, I would do a test pannel first. I put the clear on after it got tacky, kinda like the sticky side of tape and not sticking to your fingers. They say if you let it set you have to wait like a week or so.
Man I am so grateful that I found your channel. Amazing depth of knowledge and love hearing your stories as well. As far as content, I’d love to see you demonstrate a two color fade. I’m setting up the body in my 90 Silverado and I want to do a ombré fade top to bottom. Thanks for your help brother!
Came out awesome! Looks sweet man! As we all know black is the hardest color to clean up and shine without every imperfection showing. I painted my friends Harley black ( in an auto body shop) and had to cut and buff so much to make it shine. Came out like black chrome! You got the same effect with rattle cans lol amazing buddy great work!
I bet that looked awesome, thanks man, I've been custom painting cars for 20 years with spray gins, figured I'd challenge myself hahahaha. Thanks for watching!!!!!
Great work, and you have some awesome skills there my friend.. You def gave me the confidence to shoot my 2002 GMC that I repaired cab corners and one wheel well that I repaired with patch panels.. Since I had worked on both sides of the truck, I just sanded the shit out of the whole truck getting it pretty good and flat for a novice.. Then used the same Rustoleum turbo and 2k clear.. Came out great.. only I found its a ton of work and takes some real skill to properly do the cut and buff.. I decided to take it to my local detailer buddy who has done the ceramic coating and detailing for my cars for years.. He cut and buffed the whole truck in 2 days for $750 bucks.. He said the stuff was great to work with, asked me who painted the truck, I told him it was a turbo spray can and he didn't believe me.. Showed him your videos and he was dumbfounded.. My 2002 GMC looks like a brand new truck now.. My white job was def easier than the black but man I have you to thank for the help and assistance for sure.. Saved me several thousand bucks..!!
Good work and the good thing is you save time from taking it to a shop to get painted that can last 6-12 months to get it back good work impressive 💪👍💪
here i am learning how to turbo can my car since i just painted my hood white today, i did 1k wet sand but i need ton buff it... also from NC, just stuck here in Spring lake.
Obviosly I came for the video subject and content but I subscribed because this dude is straight up cool. A guy I can see my self hanging with. Thanks for the content my man :) Hello from GA
Yes it would help a ton, I would wet sand with 600 on a block and sand till flat then clear. You wouldn't have to sand near as much when cut and buffing. I would of but I had to make several different videos doing different stages
That actually came out great. 1st time I painted a car 30 years ago... it was bad bad lol. Was a metallic paint, I put too much hardener in it, shit was coming out like powder from the gun... metallic shit standing on end. Was a big ass 79 Cadillac. The only thing I solved was making it one color hahaha.
Would like to see a Rustoleum turbo paint job and 2k clear coat, cut and buffed with denim pads to reduce the amount of sanding. Great job with the experiment.
You can save yourself a lot of time by wet sanding with an interface pad on the orbital sander with some 1500 hook & loop wet sanding discs then work your way up to 4000 grit foam pads.
Looks amazing you’re really making this seem a lot easier than it should be lol. Any tips for doing a whole car ? And again i love your work and ur videos inspiring me to try and learn new things with every vid
Thank you very much!!! The sanding is the worst part but the buffing is so rewarding!! If I were to do a whole car I start sanding with the 2000 grit, do the whole car ,then move to the 2500 grit check the whole car then start the m105 finish that then move to the m205. I do the whole car with every process so I don't miss a part of the car. I plan on doing a whole car pretty soon!
1000 grit would cut that orange peel down pretty quick. Would just have to use some 1500 grit to smooth out those scratches and start buffing. Would be better to use some 1200 grit before the 1500, but not needed once you have some experience. Good video and good information. I was going to start criticizing your video, for the materials used, but I see now that you do use the good stuff for your customers and you were showing how to do the job with spray cans. Came out really good.
Please let us know how this holds up after some time. My experience is cut and buff on rattle can paints is they start going dull and chalky in a month. I hope this is different! Fantastic video sir!
The other side that I did a video on is just turbo can cutand buffed, this video is turbo can with a 2k clear cut and buffed it still looks awesome after 2 months. The other side that don't have clear did just what you said, after a month it started dulling out .
Man, cutting and buffing takes forever manual hand sanding. I feel bad for your back and arms, lol. It's totally worth it though. I'm a beginner and I would never want to do it manual. I'd rather shell out $300 for the big foot any day. Awesome job! What a difference.
Thank you, yeah it's tough. You can do it faster with a DA sander then block by hand the last little bit ,then use the rupes da polisher. I was trying to keep it simple for the beginner. But your right this is the hard way lol.
@@ACDesignsGaragehey bud, I painted my truck exactly how you did this bed, spray max cleared it. Cut it and buffed it and it looks amazing for 2-3 days, then the clear gets foggy or cloudy in some areas. Any ideas on what would cause that?
Hey bro. I recently ran across your channel. I've been looking for someone to paint my toyota highlander and you seem to strike me as the real deal. I live in NC and I'm interested in letting you do the work. Let me know if I can contact you to get the ball rolling. You do great work
@@thomasseiter9841 Probably didn't sand/polish correctly. Once the polish came off it went back to cloudy. I bet if you put a wax on it or ceramic coating, it would look great again. Sounds like you didn't buff it right though.
What polishes did u use and what compounds looks good have u used butter wax that works miracles on black paint jobs but u my friend did an Amazing job with garage house hold products
My truck has the original paint and patina and some extra pain that covered some door lettering.. I was thinking about painting it.. But thats silly for a work truck. Bad luck to paint a work truck all shiny if you ask me.
Just wanted to say that this turned out so amazing that i will be going this route myself. Super super impressed, would you recommend only wet sanding for the final polish or would it be okay to dry sand with a sander and some soft paper
I definitely would, alot of out of state people moved in here and look at you funny when you wave at them or open doors for them lol. I thought everyone did that hahahaha!!!
I would love your help. Im in Australia and I want to put a vy commodore wagon number plate assembly into a vy commodore ute tailgate. I will send some photos. Keep up the good work. Cheers John
Need some help, my friend. Followed all the instructions and everything looks great EXCEPT I've got a 5 inch raggedy line where the new clear and the old clear meet. I used the UPOL Blend #9 when I did the last coat of clear and I thought that got it until I started doing the compounding (it worked perfectly on the other side of the car.) Now I can see the line and the more I fuss with with (wet sanding to try and feather it out, etc.), the worse it looks. Is there a solution for this?
I hope this helps you, did you do a clear blend or did you clear the whole pannel. I have never had any luck clear blend. I only clear whole pannels because they hold up longer because you dont have a thin edge.If you want email me a pic and maybe I can further help acdgmerch@gmail.com
With typical sanding 15-20 minutes is the point where you should change sandpaper for efficiency as it has already become less than 50% as effective as it originally was and a new sheet will be. Obviously this is going to vary depending on many factors but is something to be considered when you're waiting for your sandpaper grit to wear completely out, it may take 45 minutes, but you did half the work or more in the first 15.
Hack tip someone may have already mentioned, warm up your rattle cans before using. I always put my cans in a bucket of hot tap water for 15-20 minutes before using. Even spray the whole way through the can. Love the content brother!
Thank you, I think im gonna get a bucket and get one of those cattle probes that keep there water from freezing to keep the water hot lol
@@ACDesignsGarage. How do you keep the surface warm (outside in the shade)?
@@hfgy475Honestly, if you can’t paint during the summer or spring, or have a climate controlled garage or something; I’m guessing as long as it’s not super cold out, it should be okay, although paint might take longer to dry/set and cure..

A very soft/fine wire brush works good for removing unwanted cutting compound from the cutting/buffing pads. Turned out really good btw
Thank you for the tip!! Thanks for watching!!!!
2006 GTO, 2008 Yukon denali xl and a 2011 Yukon denali xl. That's in my fleet. The GTO parts are getting to be unobtainium 😆 but it was my dream car. Love your videos brother!
Thank you, I always wanted one of those GTOs with a big cam!!!!
That is incredible! I never realized there was a clear you could spray over oil base rustoleum without a chemical reaction. I'm doing this
It's held up, I thought it would explode lol, I would do a test pannel first. I put the clear on after it got tacky, kinda like the sticky side of tape and not sticking to your fingers. They say if you let it set you have to wait like a week or so.
@@ACDesignsGarage you saying the clear needs to go on while the paint is still tacky?
Man I am so grateful that I found your channel. Amazing depth of knowledge and love hearing your stories as well. As far as content, I’d love to see you demonstrate a two color fade. I’m setting up the body in my 90 Silverado and I want to do a ombré fade top to bottom. Thanks for your help brother!
sweet baby jesus please keep the content going, truly a master of his craft to be able to pull this off. incredible!
Thank you very much!!!!
Love my flat black truck and definitely using the turbo next time I go over it. Crazy the coverage 😮😮
It's amazing!!!
Thank you for your video, watching all the way from Adelaide, Australia. cheers
Awesome thank you for the support, its greatly appreciated!!!!
Came out awesome! Looks sweet man! As we all know black is the hardest color to clean up and shine without every imperfection showing. I painted my friends Harley black ( in an auto body shop) and had to cut and buff so much to make it shine. Came out like black chrome! You got the same effect with rattle cans lol amazing buddy great work!
I bet that looked awesome, thanks man, I've been custom painting cars for 20 years with spray gins, figured I'd challenge myself hahahaha. Thanks for watching!!!!!
@@ACDesignsGarage hey it shows. Great work!
Great work, and you have some awesome skills there my friend.. You def gave me the confidence to shoot my 2002 GMC that I repaired cab corners and one wheel well that I repaired with patch panels.. Since I had worked on both sides of the truck, I just sanded the shit out of the whole truck getting it pretty good and flat for a novice.. Then used the same Rustoleum turbo and 2k clear.. Came out great.. only I found its a ton of work and takes some real skill to properly do the cut and buff.. I decided to take it to my local detailer buddy who has done the ceramic coating and detailing for my cars for years.. He cut and buffed the whole truck in 2 days for $750 bucks.. He said the stuff was great to work with, asked me who painted the truck, I told him it was a turbo spray can and he didn't believe me.. Showed him your videos and he was dumbfounded.. My 2002 GMC looks like a brand new truck now.. My white job was def easier than the black but man I have you to thank for the help and assistance for sure.. Saved me several thousand bucks..!!
Man thats cool, I bet it looks awesome!!!
Good work and the good thing is you save time from taking it to a shop to get painted that can last 6-12 months to get it back good work impressive 💪👍💪
Your right and you can control the quality!!! Thank you for watching!!!
Thank you for your excellent presentation. It makes me think that I could repaint my Land Rover Defender
Your welcome, you can do it!!!
I’m 74 and past my sell by date!
Great video and very instructional you did a great job I think I'm going to follow your steps
Thank you very much hope they help!!!
here i am learning how to turbo can my car since i just painted my hood white today, i did 1k wet sand but i need ton buff it... also from NC, just stuck here in Spring lake.
If you've already 1k wet sanded jump up to wet 1500 then 2500 then she'll buff easier as long as you have enough paint on it!!!!
@@ACDesignsGarage I just can back from vacation, gonna get to it this weekend. One panel at a time
Looking forward to testing out your paint shaker! Ordered!
She's on the way!!!!
Obviosly I came for the video subject and content but I subscribed because this dude is straight up cool. A guy I can see my self hanging with. Thanks for the content my man :)
Hello from GA
Thank you very much, we bought our 32 Ford out of calhoun Ga.
Man I have never seen such a contrasting difference. You are making me want to buff my black hummer 😂
Hahaha do it!!!!
Looks sick, a ton of American Pros were used in the making of the movie. Definitely will go support and watch this 👍
Thank you!!!!
You rock dude! Respect 🫡
Hahaha thank you very much!!!!
Amazing! So what happens if you wash it? Will it remove the polish?
It will probably need a good wax soon!!!
Incredible work man!! I bet people won’t even believe it is spray can paint!! Love it!!
Thank you, that was my goal!!!
Can you sand the base coat before putting the clear on? Would that help if base coat is orange peeled or striped? Thanks
Yes it would help a ton, I would wet sand with 600 on a block and sand till flat then clear. You wouldn't have to sand near as much when cut and buffing. I would of but I had to make several different videos doing different stages
Outstanding! Thanks from Australia..
Thank you very much for watching!!!!
Great video, appreciate your time and hard work, helps out a lot 🙏🏽🙏🏽😎
Thank you very much!!!
That actually came out great. 1st time I painted a car 30 years ago... it was bad bad lol. Was a metallic paint, I put too much hardener in it, shit was coming out like powder from the gun... metallic shit standing on end. Was a big ass 79 Cadillac. The only thing I solved was making it one color hahaha.
Thank you lol, I've had stuff blow up on me before like that hahahaha
Would like to see a Rustoleum turbo paint job and 2k clear coat, cut and buffed with denim pads to reduce the amount of sanding. Great job with the experiment.
Thank you, I've never tried the denim pads.
amazing job
Thank you!!!!!
You can save yourself a lot of time by wet sanding with an interface pad on the orbital sander with some 1500 hook & loop wet sanding discs then work your way up to 4000 grit foam pads.
Yeah I know I have one, I was targeting guys that dont have any special tools, it was a ton more work lol
Looks amazing you’re really making this seem a lot easier than it should be lol. Any tips for doing a whole car ? And again i love your work and ur videos inspiring me to try and learn new things with every vid
Thank you very much!!! The sanding is the worst part but the buffing is so rewarding!! If I were to do a whole car I start sanding with the 2000 grit, do the whole car ,then move to the 2500 grit check the whole car then start the m105 finish that then move to the m205. I do the whole car with every process so I don't miss a part of the car. I plan on doing a whole car pretty soon!
@@ACDesignsGarage 👍👍
Thanks! I want to try it on my old truck.
Awesome !!!
1000 grit would cut that orange peel down pretty quick. Would just have to use some 1500 grit to smooth out those scratches and start buffing. Would be better to use some 1200 grit before the 1500, but not needed once you have some experience. Good video and good information. I was going to start criticizing your video, for the materials used, but I see now that you do use the good stuff for your customers and you were showing how to do the job with spray cans. Came out really good.
Thank you very much!!!
Excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent thank you
Thank you very much!!!!
WOW Just WOW, Love your video's. Very nice work
Thank you very much!!!
Wow, just wow!🤩
Hahaha thank you!!!!!
thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, I really appreciate your efforts and subscribed to your channel.
Thank you I appreciate your support!!!
Subscribed immediately. Great content my friend. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much, glad to have you on the team!!!!
Man i subbed thats sime serious detail. Ive definitely learned alot from you.
Thanks for the sub!
Please let us know how this holds up after some time. My experience is cut and buff on rattle can paints is they start going dull and chalky in a month. I hope this is different! Fantastic video sir!
The other side that I did a video on is just turbo can cutand buffed, this video is turbo can with a 2k clear cut and buffed it still looks awesome after 2 months. The other side that don't have clear did just what you said, after a month it started dulling out .
Man you helped me out a lot really appreciate the vide
Awesome glad it helped!!!!
2K clear is miles ahead of everything else available in a can. Nice tutorial!
I was amazed with the 2k in the can, amd how awesome it buffed!!!
You know it’s gonna be good when in the first 30 seconds you hear, “we use the mess outta these things”. Haha. Great video sir👊🏻
Hahaha thank you!!!!!
Man, cutting and buffing takes forever manual hand sanding. I feel bad for your back and arms, lol. It's totally worth it though. I'm a beginner and I would never want to do it manual. I'd rather shell out $300 for the big foot any day. Awesome job! What a difference.
Thank you, yeah it's tough. You can do it faster with a DA sander then block by hand the last little bit ,then use the rupes da polisher. I was trying to keep it simple for the beginner. But your right this is the hard way lol.
@@ACDesignsGaragehey bud, I painted my truck exactly how you did this bed, spray max cleared it. Cut it and buffed it and it looks amazing for 2-3 days, then the clear gets foggy or cloudy in some areas. Any ideas on what would cause that?
Hey bro. I recently ran across your channel. I've been looking for someone to paint my toyota highlander and you seem to strike me as the real deal. I live in NC and I'm interested in letting you do the work. Let me know if I can contact you to get the ball rolling. You do great work
@@828style LOOK acdesigns, I got you some work! lmao :)
@@thomasseiter9841 Probably didn't sand/polish correctly. Once the polish came off it went back to cloudy. I bet if you put a wax on it or ceramic coating, it would look great again. Sounds like you didn't buff it right though.
thanks for the tips! love this
Thank you for watching!!!!
What polishes did u use and what compounds looks good have u used butter wax that works miracles on black paint jobs but u my friend did an Amazing job with garage house hold products
I use meguiars m105 for cutting and 205 for polish, it's pretty cheap and you can get it at harborfreight
Damn your about to put everyone out of business 😂 that looks awesome 😎
Hahahaha thank you, make sure to check out this weeks video on Friday night!!!
My truck has the original paint and patina and some extra pain that covered some door lettering..
I was thinking about painting it..
But thats silly for a work truck.
Bad luck to paint a work truck all shiny if you ask me.
I'm a patina guy myself, especially if you work out of it lol, you don't have to worry about it as much!!!!
@@ACDesignsGarage I ain't trying to impress anyone and my GF says I'm doing a good job. 😎👍
Perfect freakin video, my dude. Love this stuff. ❤
Thank you!!!!!
Backyard Boogie Award Winner 🏆👏 🏅 🔥 Love the Content Bro! 🙏🏽
Same, not a hummer tho ❤️😹
Hahaha thank you!!!!!
Just wanted to say that this turned out so amazing that i will be going this route myself. Super super impressed, would you recommend only wet sanding for the final polish or would it be okay to dry sand with a sander and some soft paper
You can do eaither, the reason I like wetsanding is no dust and your sand paper last 3 times longer cause it will wash out!!!!
Good shit brother.
Thanks for the video. You seem like the kind of guy who would throw your hand up when driving by. 👋
I definitely would, alot of out of state people moved in here and look at you funny when you wave at them or open doors for them lol. I thought everyone did that hahahaha!!!
What kind of spray paint did you use for this it is coming out awesome
The black was rustoleum turbo and the clear was spray max 2k clear!!!
Thank you for the tips.
Thanks for watching!!!
I would love your help. Im in Australia and I want to put a vy commodore wagon number plate assembly into a vy commodore ute tailgate. I will send some photos. Keep up the good work. Cheers John
Awesome go to my website and there is a email link if you want to send some pictures, ill try to help. www.acdesignsgarage.com
Need some help, my friend. Followed all the instructions and everything looks great EXCEPT I've got a 5 inch raggedy line where the new clear and the old clear meet. I used the UPOL Blend #9 when I did the last coat of clear and I thought that got it until I started doing the compounding (it worked perfectly on the other side of the car.) Now I can see the line and the more I fuss with with (wet sanding to try and feather it out, etc.), the worse it looks. Is there a solution for this?
I hope this helps you, did you do a clear blend or did you clear the whole pannel. I have never had any luck clear blend. I only clear whole pannels because they hold up longer because you dont have a thin edge.If you want email me a pic and maybe I can further help acdgmerch@gmail.com
With typical sanding 15-20 minutes is the point where you should change sandpaper for efficiency as it has already become less than 50% as effective as it originally was and a new sheet will be. Obviously this is going to vary depending on many factors but is something to be considered when you're waiting for your sandpaper grit to wear completely out, it may take 45 minutes, but you did half the work or more in the first 15.
Yeah that enamel is some gooey stuff, it don't sand like normal paint and primer.
You can spray your pad with water help keep it from drying out you so fast.
Thanks for the tip!!!!
